The Deshaun Watson decision is finally in.
Retired federal judge Sue Robinson ruled that Watson violated the league’s personal conduct policy and has levied a six-game suspension for the Browns quarterback, who was accused by more than 20 female massage therapists of sexual misconduct, ESPN.com reported.
Watson has settled civil cases with 23 of the 24 accusers who sued him, with three more settlements being reported on Monday. Watson’s former team, the Houston Texans, settled lawsuits with 30 of his accusers in July.
Terms of the settlements were undisclosed.
The sides have three days to appeal Robinson’s decision, which would be heard by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. However, the NFLPA announced on Sunday that they had no plans to appeal the decision by Robinson and called on the NFL to promise the same.
